Bonjour Nicole

About Me:

So I guess we can start off with the easy questions.. My name is Nicole Jezerski. I am a freshman attending LIM College: Where Business Meets Fashion in New York City. I plan on getting a degree in Fashion Merchandising and pursuing a career in Fashion Forecasting. My personality is nothing special, I’m just your typical girl next door, with brown hair and brown eyes of average height. I have an excessive shopping problem and I like to read magazines and drink hot tea while I’m curled up by a fire. Now don’t worry, It gets better..

Some people would say that I was being fake or changing myself to fit in, but in reality I was learning. Throughout the years I’ve used many different facades such as: gothic, edgy, ghetto, nerdy, athletic, and preppy. Switching from clique to clique was fun for a while but eventually I realized that I just didn’t fit in with any of them. I learned how to pull characteristics from all of the different styles to create my own personality. Now I have a wide range of interests, an ever-changing style, and most importantly an open mind.
